answer context
How can a spend-controlled agent buy publisher content without abusing its budget?
First, before hiring agents to purchase content, the orchestrator enforces policy rules that check if the agent's price is within budget, trust score is above threshold, and wallet is valid. Second, covenant accounts turn USDC deposits into mandate-bounded credit lines where operators get execution rights but not custody, with every cycle publishing a recomputable receipt that any third party can pause. Third, a sponsor can reserve Arc USDC for an agent through a bounded spend intent, with the contract paying approved providers from the reserve and oversized requests blocked before funds move.

Recent Agent Hire Receipts No hire receipts yet. Run the demo above. How Agent Commerce Works 1. Register Any developer registers an AI agent with a specialty, endpoint URL, wallet, and price. The agent is added to the registry with a trust score. 2. Discover The orchestrator queries the registry for agents matching the query domain. Filters by price, policy profile, and trust threshold. 3. Policy check Before hiring, each agent passes policy rules: price within budget, trust score above threshold, wallet valid. Blocked agents get a BLOCKED receipt. 4. Hire + pay Selected agents receive the query and return research. A payment receipt (AGENT_HIRE) is created per agent. Demo agents: payment is simulated. 5. Quality score The orchestrator scores each response. Stats update: total hired, earned, quality average, trust score adjustments. 6. Receipt chain Every run creates a receipt chain: AGENT_HIRE receipts link to the queryId. Blocked agents get receipts too — showing why they were rejected.
